Silver Surges To Fourth-Largest Global Asset
8.0
Silver rose above $71 on Tuesday, extending a rally that has pushed the metal up roughly 138% year-to-date in 2025 and outperforming gold's 70% gain. With a market capitalization approaching $4 trillion, silver is now the fourth-largest global asset, a shift analysts attribute to expectations of US rate cuts, a nearly 10% weaker dollar this year, and increased demand for hedges amid geopolitical tensions.
